New Skincare to the Test

I don't know about you, but where I live the weather has been pretty crazy cold lately and, therefore, my skin has gotten crazy dry. I did use plenty of moisturizing products, but apparently none of them were really moisturizing enough this time. So I figured I would go ahead and get a few new skincare products to test and see if they will help my skin at least a little bit.

I visited the Boots section of our local pharmacy yesterday and found these two products from No7 designed specially for dry and very dry skin, so I decided to give them a go. They are both from the Beautiful Skin collection, which is one that I have not tried before - actually, I don't think I ever owned any No7 products until now. I have not read any reviews on these yet, so I'm excited to see how they will work. I will, of course, do a full review on them once I test them for a while. The first thing I got is the No7 Beautiful Skin Cleansing Lotion, which I suppose you use after taking your makeup off, for a deeper cleanse. The second thing I got is the No7 Beautiful Skin Hydration Mask which comes in a very interesting packaging (with the swirly bit) and I think it's one of those pumps that help you get all the product out of the packaging.

I also got not too long ago the Nivea Eye Creamwith grape seed oil, which I actually used a couple of times already. I can't really say much about it yet, just that I had to be really careful not to apply it too close to my lash line or it will sting a bit. So I'm not sure whether that's just me being too sensitive, or the formula bit too harsh for the eyes. I'll try it some more and review it eventually with a full opinion on it.

After giving these products a go for a while, I'll report back with some proper reviews. If any of you have tried these yet, let me know how they worked for you!
